BETA(-CAPTURE DECAY OF FP SHELL NUCLEI WITH T-Z=-2() AND ELECTRON)

Allowed beta(+) branches of very proton-rich fp shell T-z= -2 nuclei a t the proton drip line are calculated in the full fp valence space. Th e beta(+) decay half-lives calculated with the standard quenching fact or (g(A)(eff)/g(A))=0.74 are in good agreement with existing experimen tal data. Detailed branching Gamow-Teller strength are predicted but c omparison with experiment is still difficult since, in most cases, spe ctroscopic information is not yet available.
